FAQs
Begin by isolating the system and releasing residual pressure. Remove the existing gauge or plug, then thread the 18-015-886 into the R1/8 port, ensuring a clean seal with PTFE tape or appropriate sealant. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specification, restore pressure gradually, and verify the gauge reads within the 0–2.5 bar scale. Verify orientation for readability and secure any mounting brackets to prevent vibration-induced drift.
The gauge operates from -20 to 65 °C and covers a pressure range of 0 to 2.5 bar (0–36 psi). This combination supports stable performance in typical factory environments, including cold starts and moderate heat, without significant bias or lag in readings. If your system approaches temperature extremes, consider protecting the gauge from direct heat sources or rapid thermal cycling.
Yes. Its compact dimensions and R1/8 port make it easy to deploy across multiple lines or near critical actuators in packaging equipment. The 0–2.5 bar scale provides quick, at-a-glance readings to validate each branch, reducing setup time and enabling rapid fault isolation. For multiple circuits, consider mounting in a centralized panel with consistent orientation for uniform readability.
This gauge is designed to align with common industry standards and safety practices, with CE considerations typically applicable to production environments. Certification availability may vary by region and configuration; consult the datasheet for your region’s requirements and ensure any additional IP ratings or SIL considerations are addressed in your installation plan.
The gauge offers durable construction and a straightforward reading scale that reduce maintenance time and misreads. By providing reliable pressure visibility, it supports proactive maintenance, minimizes unplanned downtime, and improves compressor efficiency through better reaction to pressure fluctuations. Over time, this translates to lower repair costs, improved line uptime, and faster issue resolution on busy production floors.
